I sort of can't believe no one can block the attacks nor do i know whoever runs the site has admin access.There are simple rules that can be applied in iptables to block attacks after a certain hitcount to drop in seconds and the amount of time.

thats not going to stop a DoS attack... it's about volume of traffic, try thinking about the amount of traffic travelling down a motorway (yes I mean cars) during rush hour, make rush hour last every second of the day, and turn the motorway into a single lane street.

Also apply the fact that it's a free service, so there is no money to upgrade the road, let alone the fact that the share amount of cars trying to travel our special road would require a road thousands of times the size to actually solve the problem.

Using iptables would be like putting traffic lights at the end of the road, which wouldn't help.
